Texas lands commitment from 2022 four-star edge rusher J’mond Tapp

Bo Davis is on fire!

Texas defensive line coach Bo Davis has gained a ton of momentum on the recruiting trail over the last two weeks.

On Monday, Texas added two four-star prospects to their 2022 recruiting class. In the early afternoon, four-star defensive lineman Jaray Bledsoe announced his commitment. Just hours later, four-star edge rusher J’Mond Tapp joined the party.

Tapp is rated the No. 9 prospect in the state of Louisiana and the No. 9 edge for the 2022 cycle according to 247Sports composite. The Ascension Catholic product chose Texas over LSU, Alabama, and others.

The three-sport athlete has compiled an impressive list of offers up to this point including Florida, Georgia, LSU, Alabama, Texas A&M, and USC. However, Tapp only took two visits throughout the month of June, an unofficial to LSU and an official to Texas.

In 2020, Tapp recorded 64 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks and one safety. He becomes one of the highest rated defensive commits in Texas’ 2022 class, behind only four-star safety Bryan Allen Jr. and Bledsoe.

Bledsoe and Tapp’s commitments on Monday catapulted Texas from the No. 10 class in the nation to the No. 6.

LSU extends offer to highly touted 2022 defensive end

The Tigers could strengthen their defense in the future with this prospect.

2022 Donaldsonville (La.) Ascension Catholic defensive end J’Mond Tapp received an offer from LSU, as he announced via Twitter on Friday.

Tapp also has offers on the table from Baylor, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Memphis, Washington State and South Carolina, among other programs.

The 6-foot-3, 230-pounder ranks within the 247Sports Composite as the No. 135 overall prospect in the country, No. 10 weak-side defensive end nationally and No. 8 overall prospect in the state of Louisiana.

He’s listed as a four-star recruit on 247Sports — the No. 169 overall prospect in the country, No. 9 weak-side defensive end in the nation and No. 7 overall prospect in the state of Louisiana.

Tapp is coming off a strong 2020 season where he recorded 64 tackles, 13 for loss and 5.5 sacks.

Tapp knows he brings a lot to the table as a three-sport athlete.

“All of the above(rush the passer, set edge, run game),” Tapp told 247Sports. “I mean that’s my mindset, but I wouldn’t be able to do either without my teammates.”

It will be interesting to see how he continues to build off that, and if he ultimately ends up staying in Louisiana to play out his college career with the Tigers.
